Democrats continually make campaign promises that they don’t keep, and I think that many young voters are believing that the game is rigged and that their votes are either being taken for granted or, worse, completely meaningless. I don’t see them as giving up on voting; I see them on giving up on the current options.

Voting for a 3rd party in the US is like lighting your vote on fire. If you are concerned about the Democrats not doing what you want them to do at least you can get 5% or whatever you want. Voting for some random 3rd party ensures you get 0%.
